Two found dead in backyard

[5 point Gillinist]

That is one good thing about them being so close. They don't scam where they live.

Have you ever seen their homes?

I've never heard of this. Our criminals are less creative out here. They just break in and steal, or walk off with people's lawnmowers and/or bikes.

What is the deal with their dialect/accent? The ones that come around here try to hide it but can't. What is it's origin?

I'm not sure. We really don't see them around much.

Irish Travellers - Wikipedia

Brad Pitt was 'fluent' with it in 'Snatch'. ...hilarious

"...Irish Travellers speak English and sometimes one of two dialects of Shelta—Gammon (or Gamin) and Irish Traveller Cant. Shelta has been dated back to the 18th century but may be older.[32] Cant, which derives from Irish, is a combination of English and Shelta.[33]

Jean-Pierre Liégeois [fr] writes that the Irish Traveller Gammon vocabulary is derived from pre-13th-century Gaelic idioms with ten per cent Indian origin Romani language vocabulary.[34] Since Shelta is a mixture of English and Irish grammar, the etymology is not straightforward. The language is made up mostly of Irish lexicon, being classified as a grammar-lexicon language with the grammar being English-based.[35] Gaelic language expert Kuno Meyer and Romani language linguist John Sampson both asserted that Shelta existed as far back as the 13th century, 300 years before the first Romani populations arrived in Ireland or Britain.[36][unreliable source?][better source needed][discuss]..."

Shelta is a cryptolect (secret language). Irish Travellers do not like to share the language with outsiders, named "Buffers", or non-Travellers. When speaking Shelta in front of Buffers, Travellers will disguise the structure so as to make it seem like they are not speaking Shelta at all.[37] There is fear that if outsiders know the entirety of the language, it will be used to bring further discrimination to the Traveller community.[38]
